Litter Picking helps reduce pollution from spreading into the environment as well as making the surroundings more attractive, which in turn makes people more careful with their waste.
Litter picking can be performed on an individual basis or as part of a group.
In Knebworth communal litter picks operate from the school on Saturday mornings. See our website for the latest dates and come and join in.
